I still think that this should be the default behavior but atleast it is going to solved in some way. With sufficient users voicing their opinion, perhaps it will be just merged into dnf itself.

Thanks for the URL. Is there some hope justified that the plugin will be enabled by default at one point? How did yum manage that without plugin?

Rawhide build went smooth this time too! I just had an interesting effect. I neglected to run `dnf install' as root, but instead ran it under my normal user account. dnf happily downloaded all files, then asked me to accept a PGP key, which understandably failed when trying to install the key.

Thanks, Corinna Hi, you're running into another thing that we widely debated in the past: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1038504 Short summary is: we are going to provide a plugin that does just what you describe.
